Beautiful Blackbird
“Long ago, Blackbird was voted the most beautiful bird in the forest.

Although Black-bird warns them that true beauty comes from within, the other birds persist and soon each is given a ring of black around their neck or a dot of black on their wings—markings that detail birds to this very day.” — publisher
